Founded in 1994, Pulse Entertainment (www.pulse3d.com) has established itself as a leader in character-driven interaction for the Web. Many of its customers use Pulse-powered solutions to reach thousands or even millions of people. Such large and dynamic target audience numbers require that Pulse deliver high levels of flexibility, quality and responsiveness in its messaging services. In order to establish and maintain customer deployments with these critical attributes, Pulse needed a hosting solution from an industry-leading vendor. Pulse chose IBM to provide a hardware infrastructure and host it in an IBM e-business Hosting Center. The server environment is based primarily on IBM eServer xSeries servers, running the Linux operating system, which provide the foundation for Pulse's core applications.
